Posted on Google Mary FloresTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Finding a dentist to repair an unsightly front crown has been futile. Today Dr Dennis restored my smile. From start to finish, the three-week process was completed with such efficiency, attention to detail, and consideration to me at all times. The results exceeded my expectations. Update: Saratoga Smiles now has Dr. Gorman on the team, and although I'm someone who struggles with change, he made the experience easy and comfortable. He repaired a chipped crown for me about a year ago, and the result has been excellent -no issues since. I also have to mention Michelle, my dental hygienist, who consistently goes above and beyond. At my recent visit she even gave my mouth guard some much needed TLC, which I truly appreciated. Dr Gorman checked Michelle's work, and he's so pleasant, funny, and even sings, which makes the whole experience that much more enjoyable. The entire staff is friendly, attentive, and always willing to go the extra mile. I'm so grateful for the care I receive here and would recommend Saratoga Smiles in a heartbeat.Posted on Google MaureenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wonderful experience with Dr. Dennis & his very professional medical & office staff. From my first call to the office to schedule initial appointments with exams and cleaning to the dental work I have just had done - I can’t speak highly enough about the care I received. Dr. Dennis & his medical team members heard my concerns about fear of pain & treated me with compassion and respect. Patty, the most gracious medical office manager I have ever had the pleasure of doing business with, demonstrated outstanding customer service & communication skills…..”beyond efficiency “. Saratoga Smiles is highly recommended & my husband and I are extremely pleased with the experiences we each have had here!Posted on Google CindyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

If you’re looking for a boring dental appointment, this isn’t it. I went in for fillings and ended up in the middle of a stand-up routine. The assistant calls the dentist 'The Chef' (which is only slightly terrifying when he has a drill in his hand), and we had a deep historical debate about whether C-sections were originally performed with chainsaws. 10/10 for the entertainment, zero pain, and they even hyped up my shirt and hair. I’ve never felt more stylish while having my mouth propped open.Posted on Google Patricia NilesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Everyone is absolutely wonderful there!Posted on Google Rita CerasaniTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been a Saratoga Smiles patient since 2008. You will not find a more friendly, professional or caring staff anywhere. When you become their patient, you become like family.Posted on Google Paula MasterpoloTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Dentistry without the noise
Modern dentistry chases trends. We don’t.
At Saratoga Smiles, every treatment plan starts with a careful diagnosis and a real conversation. We don’t recommend procedures because they’re new. We recommend them because they’re right — for your mouth, your goals, and your life. This is dentistry built on judgment, not volume. Continuity, not turnover. Work that holds up — not work that needs redoing in five years. That’s why patients across Saratoga Springs and the Capital Region have trusted us with their care for nearly three decades.
Decades of trusted care in Saratoga Springs
Why patients choose Saratoga Smiles

- Fee-for-service independence — recommendations answer to your health, not insurance networks

Thoughtful diagnosis.
Lasting results.
